Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend.
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
FIVE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SPIN in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I’m in a spin today
I don’t know if I’ll stay
My mood is low
And I want to go
For an ice cream on the way.
Fast-boy racer took girl for a spin
Pimped-up car and a showing-off grin
Drove so fast she felt sick
Vomit curdled and thick
Sprayed a pebble-dash coating within.
I took my man for a spin
After drinks at the local inn
He was too woozy
From getting too boozy
From now on he’ll think before drinking that gin!
Oh the trouble I’ve got myself in
My head’s in a terrible spin
Should I resist his charms
Or with open arms
Let my heart rule my head and give in.
Clare Chaste, having necked some rough gin,
Felt her head continually spin.
‘The floor’s on the ceiling
And I’ve a terrible feeling
My yang has spilt from my yin.’
–
I was told, ‘Always avoid a cheap djinn,
Because once he’s got under your skin
He’ll spin you some pish
About making a wish
Which is when your troubles begin.’
We took a spin and stayed at the inn
Where the linens were scrawny and thin
Multiple bites
From the bed mites
We set fire to the place for a win.
I once wooed a maiden called Jenny.
She could spin some fine yarn for a penny.
I felt such a twit
Till I learned how to knit.
Now we make warm clothes for the many.
